The document discusses the urgent necessity for affordable housing in India, highlighting issues such as urban population growth, housing shortages, and disparity in housing costs related to income levels. It presents various strategies and roles for public-private partnerships to address these challenges, including the use of innovative technologies and efficient construction practices. The overall emphasis is on creating sustainable, equitable, and accessible housing options to uplift urban populations and reduce slum formations.

3. Housing Scenario and Urbanization : India
1. India is undergoing transition from rural to
urban society.
2. Increasing migration from rural to urban
areas.
3. Mismatch between demand and supply of
sites and services.
4. Disparity between high land costs of
construction and lower incomes leading
to non sustainable situation.
5.Lack of equitable supply of land, shelter and
services at affordable prices.
6. Depletion of resources in construction and
negligence of ecology in design.
7. Lack of application of cost effectiveness
and energy efficiency in construction.

4. Housing Scenario and Urbanization : India
1.28% urban population growth (Census 2001).
2.40% by 2020 (Vision 2020 – Planning Commission).
3. 50% by 2041 (draft Urban India Report).
4.Growing urbanisation has led to :
a) pressure on the availability of land and infrastructure
b) deterioration of housing conditions of the weaker sections of society
c) increased number of slums and squatter settlements.

5. Necessity of Providing Affordable housing
1.Urban population
likely to grow from
285.3 million in
2001 to 360 million
in 2010
2.Nearly 36% of
India’s population
likely to be
urbanised by 2005.
3.Employment in Rise in population in last ten years

9. Housing Scenario In Larger Cities-
Why Affordable Housing-from a developers
perspective.
1.Large housing segment largely ignored.
2.Property prices unaffordable for middle income
group.
3.Economic slowdown has rendered buyers
cautious.
4.Consequently, developers forced to shift focus
from the luxury segment to the middle income
housing segment.
5.‘Value for money’ has now gained prominence.

11. Achieving Affordability Through Matrix of
1) Appropriate Technology-
1.Use of renewable resources for building Materials
2.Use of raw materials resources based on waste products
3.Efficient use of existing conventional materials by producing factory
made (precast)building components
4.ndustrialization of housing sector
5.Affordability and sustainability.
2)Public private Partnership-

28. Public Private Partnership
Partnership Expectations
1.Timely delivery by developers
2.Ease of working by the government
3.Transparency by both the parties

29. Public And Private Partnership in Affordable housing
The public-private partnership can be formally defined
as:
In these partnerships, private developers, non-profit agencies, and
in some cases religious agencies receive some funds or support
from the municipal, state, or federal government (or all three, in
some cases) in order to build or renovate and manage affordable
housing. This can be used both for rental housing and as a means
of encouraging low-income home ownership. This is also an
approach that has been used in a number of other countries.
A contractual relationship where a private party takes
responsibility for all or part of a government’s (departments)
functions… a contractual arrangement between a public sector
agency and a private sector concern, whereby resources and risks
are shared for the purposes of delivering a public service or for
developing public infrastructure. (Hardcastle & Boothroyd, 2003, p.
31).

30. The Scheme of Affordable Housing in Partnership as per National
Urban Housing & Habitat Policy (NUHHP) 2007
1.The Scheme of Affordable Housing in Partnership aims at
operationalising the strategy envisaged in the National Urban
Housing & Habitat Policy (NUHHP) 2007,
of promoting various types of public-private partnerships – of the
government sector with the private sector, the cooperative sector,
the financial services sector, the state parastatals, urban local
bodies, etc. – for realizing the goal of affordable housing for all.
2. It intends to provide a major stimulus to economic activities
through affordable housing for the creation of employment,
especially for the construction workers and other urban poor who
are likely to be amongst the most vulnerable groups in recession. It
also targets the creation of demand for a large variety of industrial
goods through the multiplier effect of housing on other economic
activities.

31. Need for PPP in Housing
1.Synergy
2.Capitalize and maximise on core domain of respective
players
3.Scale of Development
4.Humongous need for combined capabilities
5.Investment Gap Funding
6.Cost spread over project lifecycle in PPP model rather
than being front loaded in traditional procurement model
7.Improving Quality &Efficiency
8.Returns for private players linked directly to
efficiency and quality delivery
9.Risk Mitigation
10Appropriate allocation between stakeholders
11On-Time Delivery
12Faster and time approvals, payments also linked to
timely completion

33. Role OF National Housing Bank Towards Affordable Housin
Some Basic Facts Regarding Construction Industry.
1.A basic human necessity supporting economic activities .
2.Second largest employment generator, next to agriculture.
3.Has forward and backward linkages with over 250 ancillary
industries.
4.Every Rupee spent on construction, an estimated 75-80 paise is
added to GDP.
5.GOI created enabling Fiscal, Monetary and Legal Environment
6.Housing Industry Growth in last 5 years –
Physical Terms 3.0 % p.a.
Financial Terms 30% p.a.
7.Contribution of Housing in GDP is about 6%
8.Percentage of Mortgage Debt to GDP is 8.50% (E) in 2005-06,
still way below China’s (12%), Malaysia (22%), Hong-Kong (40%) and
US (65%).

35. NHB Support For Private Sector
35
1.Any private sector housing initiative with a EWS component
2.Integrated township in rural/semi-rural with housing and part
commercial, other related infrastructure
3.Equity participation and refinance support to HFCs with focus
on rural housing
4.Housing for workers of units in rural/semi-rural areas and of
their vendors/ancillary units, including SEZs/ AEZs.
5.Develop and Finance Public Private Partnerships to implement
township projects and mass housing. NHB can take equity in
the SPV and provide medium/long-term debt.

37. A Quote By Pt.Jawaharlal Nenru.
We need to have an integrated framework in
which spatial development of cities goes hand in
hand with improvement in the quality of living
of ordinary people living there. An important
element of our strategy has to be slum
improvement and providing housing for the
poor…….. The Mission has to walk on two legs
of improved infrastructure and improved basic
services…..”
